My adopted son's maternal grandmother is trying to get his birthmother to say she was coerced into the adoption. She's a control freak and an evil person.
My son's birthmom is 24. We have an open adoption and she sees my son every couple months. When she was pregnant, she sought out the adoption agency, she met my husband and I, she chose us, then she asked me to come to her doctor's appointments. She also asked me to be in the room whith her when my son was born. I only got involved as much as she asked me too. She seems very happy with the adoption but it still concerns me that her mom is trying to tell her to say she was coerced. I'm just trying to figure out what constitues coercion. If somebody could tell me, that would be great. We are supposed to formally adopt our son in a month. She's already terminated her rights.

Coercion is defined as: Actual or threatened force for the purpose of compelling action by another person; the act of coercing.
Force could be physical or in some cases financial.
